Cold Atmospheric Plasma for Eco‐Friendly Wheat Production: Regional Case Studies From Uzbekistan

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is gaining attention as an eco‐friendly and sustainable technology in modern agriculture. This study explores the effects of corona discharge CAP on wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) seed performance and yield under field conditions. Seeds were exposed to plasma for 2 s before sowing. Field trials in Tashkent, Fergana, and Syrdarya assessed plant development, pigment levels, and yield components. CAP‐treated seeds showed significant increases in chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids. In Tashkent, plant density improved by 12.9%, grain number per spike by 39%, and yield by 24.4%, with similar effects in other regions. These results suggest CAP enhances wheat growth, photosynthesis, and productivity, offering a chemical‐free, cost‐effective strategy for improving crop performance.
